 Nimgen supports compiling in C/C++ sources and static libraries as well as loading in dynamic libraries.
 
+Environment variables are supported via Nim's string interpolation `%` symbol imported from the `strutils` module. Simply use double quotes to enclose any value and put `${}` around the environment variable name. In addition, the `output` var from the n.global section is available as ${output}. For example:
+
+    [n.global]
+    output="src/path"
+
+    [n.include]
+    "${output}/library/include"
+
